Fiery Furnace – Solitary Hike In The Middle Of One of The Busiest National Parks

Our National Parks are overcrowded and that’s a fact. In some of the most popular ones you can spend an hour waiting to get through the entrance booth. Once you’re there, there are no parking spots left to park your car to get out and enjoy your experience. It’s a problem if you go there to commune with nature which is what the parks should encourage. There are ways to see the parks with fewer crowds – go in winter, start early in the day.  But there is another way too – know your parks and find out the secret places not many people visit. One of those places is the Fiery Furnace in Arches National Park. Fiery Furnace is such a special area that the park service limits the number of people allowed in it daily. This assures that the area has relatively low visitation and that you can have a solitary experience. You need to get a permit which can sometimes be tricky since they do sell out quickly, but if plan ahead you can have one of the most amazing and solitary experiences in one of the busiest national parks in America.
